You want HD-15 cables that have all 15 wires? And you want them cheap right?

Try:   http://www.winfordeng.com/products/ext15hd.php

$ 4.25 for the cable.  And if I may, take a look at Winford's way cool 
breakout connector for the HD-15:

    You would want to order the male version, with a male-female 
extension cord. For a very low price, you get all 15 pins on a captive 
wire board. I have one of these at my 6 meter SSB (K3) remote base site. 
If I loose power, the K3 shuts down and stays down. By using this 
breakout, and a parallel port relay port off the computer at the site,  
I can tickle the K3 "remote on" pin, and save myself a drive to the site.

    I don't think you can find anything more cost effective that a 
BRK15HDM-R-FT and a EXT15HD-6, for $ 20.25 plus shipping . Online ordering.
